Later, Kuwait was able to tie the score at minute (86) by its Brazilian international Leonardo McLeely, leading the match into extra time.
During extra time, Al-Arabi scored its third goal in minute (95) with a power shot by midfielder Mohammad Jarragh, followed by the team's fourth and final goal of the match by teammate Hussain Al-Mosawi.
